The 2026 Fischer Aeroguide 65 Skate is a short, stable beginner skate ski engineered to make learning the skate technique smoother and more intuitive. It offers a forgiving platform that blends lighter weight construction with control for first‑time and recreational skaters.

Why we like it:

It strikes a rare balance of confidence‑building stability and intuitive glide in a package that doesn’t overwhelm new skiers with raw speed.

Who it's for:

Intended for newcomers to skate skiing or casual skiers refining technique, those seeking stability and ease over racing tempo will appreciate its approachable design.

Highlights:

Built with Fischer’s Air Core Basalite construction and precision-tuned sidecut measuring 45‑40‑45 mm, the Aeroguide 65 boosts edging control and energy‑conserving push-off. Dual running grooves in the base give impressive lateral stability and predictable tracking even when skier technique isn’t perfect. Stiffer camber allows shorter-than-usual ski lengths without sacrificing stability, making handling and turning feel easier.

Things to consider:

Because it prioritizes stability over speed, the Aeroguide 65 won’t deliver the same glide or reduced weight of intermediate-level skate skis; it may feel sluggish as your technique improves.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Available in 165 cm, 175 cm, and 185 cm lengths. Ski shorter (‑5 to‑10 cm under your height) to benefit from easier control, especially in the beginning stages; heavier skiers may opt for the longer size to maintain sufficient camber stiffness.
